The architect Thomas Ripley built Wolterton Hall for Horatio Walpole in 1727-41. The Hall takes the form of a block of seven by three bays, and has a plain exterior without decoration. The plan of the house is triple pile and an early example of a Palladian standard. George Stanley Repton added arcading and staircases to a terrace on the garden side of the house in 1828-29. Inside, there are numerous fine fireplaces and plaster ceilings in the Geometric style although restorations were carried out in the early 20th century.
